(a) total resistance

R=R1+R2+R3=20+50+35=105ΩR=R_1+R_2+R_3\\ =20+50+35=105\:\Omega

(b) the amount of current flowing in each device

I1=I2=I3=VR=220/105=2.1AI_1=I_2=I_3=\frac{V}{R}\\ =220/105=2.1\:\rm A

(c) the voltage drop across each device

V1=I1R1=2.120=42VV2=I2R2=2.150=105VV3=I3R3=2.135=73VV_1=I_1R_1=2.1*20={42\:\rm V}\\ V_2=I_2R_2=2.1*50={105\:\rm V}\\ V_3=I_3R_3=2.1*35={73\:\rm V}
